The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Westview High School is a good school. Most teachers were great. However, at Westview, you do not get the benefit that's are offered at other schools in the area. For example, a vocational route is not offered. Also, there is not enough teachers for the amount of students enrolled. Many teachers are taking on more than they can handle which is hurting the students' learning.

The teachers are great and staff is so friendly and helpful!! They are willing to work with you on anything to help with whatever problem you may have. Sometimes the school focuses more on sports than academics but for the most part, they are very education-oriented and the faculty cares for each individual student on a very personal level, which is made easy by small class sizes.

Well, Westview got me through the years. Now it's off to college. I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be, and the teachers I had definitely helped prepare me for it. I can't say much for sports/food/etc. since I never really partook in them, but they seemed decent enough most of the time. In recent years, there has been a lot of staff replacement, so sadly I doubt many of the wonderful teachers I had will be there for too much longer. Most students there just don't/didn't appreciate what the teachers did for us.

Westview has very few things going for it. Cheerleading is one of them, but if you aren't a cheerleader or aren't related to one, then you get treated poorly by the school leadership. Almost every single teacher plays favorites at least some time during the year especially the vice principal. The pr...

Former student. The three stars are all for the english, history, and HOSA teachers at this school. Science and math are mostly a joke here - as of my graduation, physics wasn't even a requirement, which is absolutely absurd. Most math teachers couldn't care less about what they're doing, and the ch...
